Violações aos direitos das mulheres e meninas Yanomami: fundamentos para o peticionamento junto à comissão interamericana

Abstract

This monograph deals with violations of the human rights of Yanomami women and girls and the possibility of suing the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights against the Brazilian State. The work aimed to describe the history of violence against indigenous peoples in Brazil, especially against Yanomami women and girls; present the Global and Inter-American Human Rights Systems, and general treaties that compose them, as well as specific treaties on the protection of human rights of indigenous women and girls, and their monitoring bodies; and analyze cases within the scope of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights that have indigenous people as victims, so that there is visibility of cases that can serve as a basis for demands by Yanomami women and girls to the Commission. It is concluded that it is possible to present demands to the Commission for the violation of the human rights of Yanomami women and girls, given the State's actions in facilitating invasions by miners in the Yanomami Indigenous Land and the lack of specific measures to protect Yanomami women and girls.
